RAPID RAILROAD BUILDING.

Manitoba Company B ating the
Record by Lying seven lEiIes of Iron
a Day.
ct. Paul Pioneer Press: The most
remarkunie ieas g Fupid railroad con-
struction ever witnessed on this con.
tinent or in the world is that which is
o being prosecuted on the Manitoba
extension west Of. Mlnot. One hundred
and twenty miles of the extension had
been constructed north and west Of
Devils Lake to Minot last summer and
during the winter immense preparations
bad been made for it's completion to the
Great Falls of the Missouri, q distance of
about $50 miles. For this purpose there
was accumulated at Minot probably the
largest quantity OF construction material
ever massed at one point. 1t
consisted OF vast piles of steel rails,
spikes, ties, timber and piling, covering
an area of forty acres. The work of con-
structlon was resumed on April l. The
grading had been finished twenty.seven
miles west of Minot in the fall of 1885
and partly finished for n%inety-two mlies,
The tracklaying was commenced at
Minot in q small way on April 2. but ii
is only within two or three weeks that
operations were prosecuted on the large
scale they have now assumed. Up to
Saturday night the contractor has
laid sev%enty-one miles of track, of which
twenty-five miles were laid in the last
i've and o half days. This is, by far,
the most rapid work of railroad con.
struetlon ever witnessed on this CON
tiuent or any other, though the eontrac-
tors. Shepard, Winson u Co., had prev
iously made the best record ever known
oE the Burlington & Northern and other
lines. They have now employed 8 force
of $500 teams end about 1000 men on
this line alone, and while their army of
tracklayers on the hither end OF the grade
are building the su~perstructure OF
ties and rails at the rate of four or five
miles q day, another army is engaged 10
leyeling hills and filling valley and
bridging streams many miles ahead, so
as to keep the grade ahead OF the track
layers. Such rspidity OF construction
is only possible by the combination of
masterly skill on the part OF the railroad
contractors with that displayed by Supt.
Egan in pushing forward the material
In the vast quantities needed for such
extensive and expeditions operations,
Meanwhile the Manitoba Is pushing SON
struction on other lines SO that it is
now laying an aggregate Ct abe ut seven
miles of track a day, and when the Mon
tana extension, which is nov cutting its
way througha billy country, energies
on the more level region beyond, the
work OF construction will be- even more
rapid than heretofore. 1t is expected
that the road will be completed to the
Great Falls by Sept. l, barring bad
weather and other accidents.
